man tdecmshell produces no manual entry. tdecmshell --help-all doesn't seem to show what I'm looking for AFAICT.
What I'd like is to open 'tdemshell xserver', then run an xrandr command to change DPI, finally run 'tdemshell xserver' to compare the before and after impact from the xrandr command. It doesn't work. The second tdecmshell run simply focuses the original window. Is there any way to do what I want? If not, is it a feature that might be added to 14.1 if I filed a feature request bug?
For now what I have to do as workaround is as shown here (using xterm) :-(: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/dpi108vs133.jpg
No idea what effort that would require, have to see how the software is done. Wouldn't it be easier to open the first tdecmshell xserver, take a snapshot, make the xrandr changes, then open the tdecmshell again and compare? Just as a temporary workaround at least?
Cheers Michele
I'm not sure whether is the ability to run two identical tdecmshell good idea. Most modules contain not only information, but mainly the settings. When will be opened two same settings, would be unsynchronized and saving settings could cause unwanted results.
